Introduction

Galileo was an amazing scientist who helped teach others about science and the truth about our galaxy and space in general. In his time people were not ready to accept his ideas so he suffered every day for knowing what he knew and telling the world about these things. He wrote books that were baned for being agents Aristotle. One thing about his personal life was that he had three kids with Marina Gamba "below him" so he never married her.

moon observations: the moon has craters

One thing galileo discovered was that the moon had craters. Up until then no one has noticed that the sacred moon people had worshiped for so many years had blemishes! when he told everyone about it the church leaders scorned him for this was saying that a religious object was, well, imperfect. many called this lie much of his work heresy! aside from that people called it a trick of light or a trick of the eye. none of this convinces galileo of an explanation so he began measuring them using the shadows.

jupiter and its moons

When galileo sow the four moons orbiting jupiter he knew that the belief of Aristotle was officially out of the question. If the planets the sun and the moon orbit on cristal spheres then it would be imposable to have more things going in circles around a planet! this also angered the religious leaders when it was published because it was published in italian and once again it was a display of heresy!
